Stripping an APS Smart-UPS 3000 Transformer

- I had to dispose of an APC Smart-UPS 3000, a 3KVA uninterruptible power supply which consists of a tin box, about 16KG of lead acid batteries, 1.KG of circuit board and two transformers weighing 6.5KG each. Not a good idea to dispose of whole, so I took it down to the major bits.
Here I see how long it takes to strip the transformer even more.

It was there, required disposal. Many thanks for watching.
Interesting job dear Ben, cheers, Fabrizio like seven
Many thanks. Makes you appreciate the machines that recycle these! Thanks for watching!
@@BensWorkshop Yes, it is so my friend!
Thanks Ben - interesting little project.
Cheers. Only being careful to segregate the recycling!
Many thanks for watching!
Watched from beginning to end..micro scraping is a cool hobby that also makes money!..good show Ben!
It does, though it is not a good time of year tp be selling copper. Took a while though. I suspect I can get that time down.
Many thanks for watching!
That was interesting Ben - I think even if I had decided to strip the transformers to scrap them (the reality is, that I'd probably keep them, just in case I ever needed them!!!!), once I'd exposed all that lovely copper wire and sheet, I'd have wanted to keep that, just in case it was useful one day!!!! I REALLY should find out where my local scrap metal place is and take a few loads!!!!
Much better to take it there than the dump, they pay you for it! Mind you, you do need ID and they have to pay bank to bank.
Many thanks for watching!
Hello Ben,
I have been doing some micro scrapping myself... It fills some quiet moments in the workshop... See you next time...
Take care.
Paul,,
If you have the spare time, might as well! Many thanks for watching!
Good video Ben, cheers
Many thanks, and thanks for watching!
Looks like you could do with a bigger bench Ben.
Be nice... but there's nothing wrong with the bench other than my organisation! Too much stuff needs a different home!
Many thanks for watching!
I have a wire stripper machine and it’s made me a lot of money.I also have a lot of electric motors to scrap but it’s too much work to take them apart.
I'd quite like to see some pictures of your machine, I come across wire that needs stripping, I might make one.
Many thanks for watching!
@@BensWorkshop next time I go live I will show it real quick.
@@samsgarage1716 cheers
I did that once and it turned up that it was made from aluminum wiring and not copper :(
I can feel the bitter disappointment from here! I bet you were gutted!
Many thanks for watching.
I would strip things for copper but my hands aren't as fast as yours Ben. 😛
To be fair, I was cheating... using sped up film....
Many thanks for watching.
@@BensWorkshop I knew that 🤣
@@GuysPlayingWithTools I know 😉
@@BensWorkshop I don't know what it is about it but fast forward videos always make me laugh. I throw a little in now and then just because I hope the rest of the world smiles too.
@@GuysPlayingWithTools Always makes me laugh when you get to hear Donald Duck talking really fast!
Some real nice copper wire in there but I ain't got time take them appart normally just chuck them in and get paid as motors for them. In conclusion your right not worth the hassle. 👍
Looks that way though the second one came apart quicker. Many thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed your pain. Of course you could have stripped it in 3 mins by cutting one end off and punching through the copper, but what’s the fun in that, and you doubled your money not just an extra quid. Nice one Ben
I did you the second one in less time.... I might see if I can optimise that.
Many thanks for watching!
